Mom and Dad are up at the house working today. Dad has finished laying the tile in the kitchen and Mom is painting the baseboard trim. I really wish I could be up there doing something, but I can't stand for that long and I can't be around the smell of the paint. Tomorrow Manny will go up and take the hinges off the doors and putty up the nail holes in the door frames, then they can be painted.

Last night Manny, Lil Manny and I went to Lowes yet again. I think this is like 17+ visits in the past 3 weeks. We went to order our appliances, but the guy called in sick so we'll go back another day when he is working (this way he gets his commission). While walking through Lowes Lil Manny tells me he has to go potty. So we head to the bathrooms and as we get there he says, "no go potty, go get cookies." Now the little stinker tricked me because he knows the employee lounge is next to the bathrooms and he wanted cookies. Yes, I told you we've been at this store quite often!! I have bought him snacks there plenty of times; just so we could get our shopping/browsing done. What a smart little cookie I have!! I did cave and get him M&M's and we got out of the store without a peep out of him!!
